The festival will include 10 Georgia brewers as well as 20 hot glass blowing artisans.

But before people can enjoy the festivities, organizers have to prepare the space.

On Friday, crews will be setting up tents, barricades, and temporary bathroom facilities.

On Friday evening, Cotton Ave. will be blocked until after Saturday’s event. Crews will also be bringing in six furnaces for the hot glass blowing demonstrations.

“You’re going to begin to see things taking shape out here. You won’t see the full thing until tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. We’ll start to do more stuff in terms of full setup,” Kay said.

Those with VIP tickets can enter the venue at 1:00 p.m. Saturday. General admission tickets will be accepted at 2:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m., participants can enjoy a special ‘Tap Takeover’ and ride the trolley to different area restaurants.

Tickets to Saturday’s event are sold out. However, organizers will sell 40 non-drinking tickets at the festival.

“Those are kind of reserved for designated drivers or for those who are just checking out the event,” Kay said.
